Marisa and Kenzie.
The kids enjoyed playing Blokus with each other. Austin, Kenzie, and Carson.
We took it pretty easy Wednesday night and just enjoyed hanging out. We new Thursday would be a big day!
Mayci and Kaylee enjoyed the evening playing with Grandpa!
We got up early Thursday morning and made pies, put together casseroles, made rolls, and got the turkey in the oven.
While we got dinner ready, the kids enjoyed playing. Austin was so cute with Carson. They played Army most of the time we were in Reno. Carson thought it was pretty awesome!
And again, Grandpa was a great entertainer for the kids!
But he and Justin still found time to relax while us girls finished up dinner!
Finally, after all that prep work, it was time to EAT!!!!
It didn't take us long to eat all the yummy food and get ready for pie.....and more rolls!
And of course, there was the clean up! With every ones help, we had it cleaned up in no time and I even got a nap in before we ate dessert!
I wasn't the only one who got a nap in that afternoon. Besides some other adults, Kaylee got a good nap in on daddy's lap.
The dessert.......YUM!!!!!
Here are the kids....we missed Tiff & Arron's kids and Hallie!!!
And here are some of the adults.....they were in the middle of planning their shopping excursion for the next day (or should I say night).
These four are crazy!!! They left Tiff's house in Dayton at 11:3o Thursday night to make it to Walmart in Carson City by midnight for some specials they were offering. Then they got some hot chocolate and watched a movie in the van while they waited for Kohl's to open at 3 AM. Then off to Target after that and then JC Penney and a few other stores. They didn't get home until 9 AM Friday morning. I was going to go with them, but decided I couldn't survive staying up all night, so Nick and I ventured out Friday morning and afternoon and did some shopping with Kaylee.
Friday afternoon, while Gma & Gpa went and visited Aunt Nancy and Uncle Rod in California, we all headed to Carson City and watched a movie. The older kids, Tiff, Aaron, Justin and Ris watched Harry Potter. Nick and I took Madison, Kenzie, and our two kids to see Tangeled. Which was SUPER cute!!!! We made it home in time to have Turkey Noodles soup for dinner. We also enjoyed hanging out and playing games.
We got up early Saturday morning, had breakfast, and got loaded up to get on the roads before it started snowing. 
We had an enjoyable time spending Thanksgiving with our family. We really missed Matt, Natalie and Hallie, but Natalie had to work. And of course we thought of Uncle Chris in Brazil, and knew that he was were he needed to be, but we still missed him. We also missed Tiff and Aaron's kids. But we still had fun and we are so grateful to have such a great family to belong to and for the safety we had traveling.
